    Love this app.
    Excellent app for writing songs. You know what chords work together in any key. Love it

    Cumbersome
    Cumbersome and quirky at best! I think some of these reviews must be insider... I’m a Pro w/ ProTools studio and I make my living in music. By the time you get a short idea down your inspiration will be gone. There is no count off for recording- the 1st metronome sound is “it”. I resorted to leaving a bar up front. That’s works…. there are no directions or manual for the Simple Songwriter. I think it’s called Simple due to the fact that it’s nearly impossible to do what you need to do. The chord choices are decent (Full diatonic chord scale with an added b7 and b3 chord in Major) But it’d be nice to have a 2nd page of the parallel minor chords, or something extra just because those are usually the cool chords. Still it’s cool as is… What really bothers me is after you get an idea down there is no punching in to continue the song. So if you recorded a cool verse idea you have to start a new song in order to carry on. Now this morning all my songs are jumbled together. (they all play at once….) Lame! Show more

    Wow!
    I've been a songwriter for a while now, and on non gigging trips and vacations, I'm often inspired to write. My wife is tolerant since this is how I make my living, but she hates me bringing digital recorders, or Pearlcorders and my late son's beginner half size guitar to try and record what I've hammered out to go with the lyrics I just wrote... This app is a solid WOW! Now I can play with melodies and chorus' without disturbing anyone, record the result, and with the lyrics stored in Notes, get home with a finished song... Would I like it to do more? Sure, but for what I just paid I know I've gotten a deal! I'm gonna be first in line if yup go with a Pro Version as well... Kudos! Show more

    Bona fide composer
    This app kicks a#% for 5 bucks. I would love it more if you could specify chord groupings for modulation of modes or keys

    Love the app! It would be better if i could continue where I leave off but it record from the beginning every time

    Extremely useful
    I've arrived at many chord progressions that I've used in compositions by using SSW. My only complaint is that I can't find anything with all of the same exact functionality for my PC. Show more

    Fun + Great = Great Fun
    I bought this 'cause I thought it would be a useful tool, which it in fact is. What I love is how much fun it is to simply play.
